Lego's latest Millennium Falcon model certainly isn't a hunk of junk.
There have been over a dozen Lego Millennium Falcons in the last 25 years, and while it's hard to say that 2024's release is the best — that's an accolade that goes to the UCS model, surely — it's certainly a welcome recreation of what is Star Wars' most iconic ship. There's just the right amount of detail here, with a price tag that's not going to break the bank.
Each piece of the ship is built separately almost: a 'T' shape makes up the center, and then each corner of the ship is essentially separately assembled plates than then click into place. It all feels suitably robust when it's together, and you can barely tell where it's all joined, leaving it feel like a solid, complete model.Because of how it's constructed, though, it means you have a couple of fiddly pieces.
Thankfully, the instructions are written in a way to minimize any issues: you're never putting on more than three or four pieces in any one step, ensuring you don't miss anything. And on the outer of the ship, it doesn'tmatter if one or two pieces are slightly wrong: It's supposed to be a ship made out of scrap, after all., this Millennium Falcon is designed to be a display piece. The two have a fair bit in common, actually.
It hardly matters, though: Our main concern is simply that we don't want to end up losing these special, printed bricks! But it's hard to be too annoyed when everything else on the Millennium Falcon is so near-perfect. It may only be a fraction of the size of the Ultimate Collector's Series but somehow manages to capture the design of the ship almost just as well, with the undulations and quirks all carefully laid out in brick form.
